I want to interlink both CheckBox & Combo Box.

Hi Guys,
I need some help here.

I want to interlink the Combo Box with the Check Box.
I'm using this formula on the Combo Box {     If('SMM-CHKBOX'.Value=false,"","TICK-Mark")     }.
This is running smoothly.

But when I select from the Combo Box, Check Box doesn't change it's value.

When I use this formula on Check Box,
{     If(SMM_ComboBOX.Value="TICK-Mark",true,false)      }

This is the error that I receive.
"This rule creates a circular reference between properties, which is not allowed."

    Hi @AlexRavens ,

    That is correct - dependency can only be in one direction otherwise you get the circular reference you have received.

    I am assuming on the setting in the Combo Box is the DefaultSelectedItems, so I suggest you do the following (I cannot test this presently and there may be a reset required in there as well)

    On the CheckBox, put OnSelect

    UpdateContext({varSMM: Self.Value})

    and the Default

    varSMM

    On the ComboBox OnChange

    UpdateContext({varSMM: Self.Selected.Value = "TICK-MARK"})

    DefaultSelectedItems

    {
     Value:
     If(
     varSMM,
     "TICK-MARK",
     Blank()
     )
    }

    I am also assuming the output of the Combo Box is .Value
